Martin Luther King Jr. Day Resources

By Sam Johnson

Martin Luther
King, Jr. was a great teacher
who taught us many things: that people can and do make a difference;
that we
are responsible not only for ourselves, but also for each other; that
changes
can take place if actively though not violently pursued; and that we can
indeed
make our dreams come true and our world a better place. The Rev.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once
said “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing
for
others?” This year, “Martin Luther King Jr. Day”
has been tied to President Obama’s national call to service program,
“United We
Serve,” which asks all Americans to come together on the King Holiday to
serve
their neighbors and communities. This is a great opportunity for
all of us
to continue the efforts to make Dr. King’s dream, OUR dream, and endeavor to make that dream come true.Check the links below for more information and resources related to Martin Luther King, Jr, Day:
